Brutalism East: majestic concrete meets ornament and color in the revelatory world of Soviet Asian architecture
Soviet Asia explores the Soviet modernist architecture of Central Asia. Italian photographers Roberto Conte and Stefano Perego crossed the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, documenting buildings constructed from the 1950s until the fall of the USSR.
The resulting images showcase the majestic, largely unknown, modernist buildings of the region. Museums, housing complexes, universities, circuses, ritual palaces―all were constructed using a composite aesthetic. Influenced by Persian and Islamic architecture, pattern and mosaic motifs articulated a connection with Central Asia. Gray concrete slabs were juxtaposed with colourful tiling and rectilinear shapes broken by ornate curved forms: the brutal designs normally associated with Soviet-era architecture were reconstructed with Eastern characteristics.
Many of the buildings shown in Soviet Asia are recorded here for the first time, making this book an important document, as, despite the recent revival of interest in Brutalist and modernist architecture, a number of them remain under threat of demolition. The publication includes two contextual essays by Alessandro De Magistris and Marco Buttino.

评分##灰色的世界,建筑外立面百花齐放,未来感与乌托邦共存。
评分##……看完之后才发现自己以前喜欢的建筑都带着苏维埃的影子
评分##中亚苏维埃建筑集,诸多苏维埃建筑的摄影画册之一罢了,再想不出更多的特别之处。总之,目前确乎并没有一本能真正意义上囊括苏联建筑发展史的艺术摄影集或者画册,客观之路遥遥无期。
